In this candid interview, Tyler of Next Level Engraving shares how the RedArt CNC Pro changed his life on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Raised around decorative concrete by his father and grandfather, Tyler found the cross-section between his love for art and his knowledge of the trades — and turned it into a thriving business.
He talks about what made the opportunity feel different (a true blue-ocean market with virtually no competition), the doubts he had to push through, and his bold new approach: full influencer-style content, giving away engravings, and letting the work itself become the marketing. To date, Tyler has made over $200,000 with the machine — and he’s just getting started.
His advice for anyone on the fence? Commit 100%. “Even from just one good-sized job, you’ve made your money back — and now you have another tool in your toolbox to do anything.”

Headstone and Memorial Engraving in the Field: No Heavy Equipment Needed

When it comes to engraving memorials, markers, or headstones, portability and precision are critical — especially in remote or sensitive environments like cemeteries, parks, or memorial plazas. The CNC Pro from RedArt Technologies offers a field-ready, lightweight engraving solution that eliminates the need for lifting equipment or outsourcing.

Honor and Precision Without Disruption

Memorial work often occurs in solemn environments where noise, disruption, or large machinery is unwelcome. The CNC Pro operates quietly and cleanly, running from standard 110V power, and is easily wheeled to gravesites or monuments for in-place engraving.

Perfect for Cemeteries and Municipal Projects

Headstone lettering and personalization onsite
Veteran memorial bricks or pavers
Public plaza dedications
Religious monuments and historic markers

Technical Highlights for Memorial Engraving

With programmable depth control and support for granite, marble, limestone, concrete, and more, the CNC Pro ensures a clean, crisp result every time. Easily import vector artwork or lettered designs, and adjust feed rates for softer or denser stones.

Legacy Work by Rodney Melton

Rodney Melton, a U.S. Army veteran and engraving expert, has used the CNC Pro to honor fallen soldiers, mark sacred sites, and create personalized headstones across multiple states. His work was recently featured on ABC News for its impact in veteran communities. Melton travels with his CNC Pro system to perform mobile engraving with no noise or dust disruption — a testament to how powerful and respectful in-field CNC work can be.

Decorative Concrete Engraving

Engraving Cured Concrete

Since the Stone Age mankind has been using tools to make life a little easier. Now we’re not talking about clubbing a lover across the head although that might be one of the first uses of the club. We’re talking about technology and how it relates to the concrete industry as a whole. Whoever has the latest effective innovation and knows how to use it, wins the day. Technology exists to make our lives easier. When the first computers were created, they took up entire rooms, they performed limited tasks, but did them very well. Only an elect few could handle them or even understand how to program them. Eventually, computers became smaller and smaller, more affordable and easier to use. Eventually they broke free of wires and we have the amazing world of mobile devices that we enjoy today.

CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines have also followed this same progression. Originally invented during the space program, CNC has been used by scientists and technologists across the world to fabricate precise parts, engrave microscopic conduits for circuit boards and much more. In the concrete world we’ve heard of the 3D concrete printer, with its ability to create large-scale 3D printed objects out of concrete. These innovations are wondrous and open new doors to possibilities.

Red Art Technologies has taken CNC to the next level, by making it portable. Our portable concrete engraving system is built to be picked up and placed directly onto the engraving surface, whether it’s horizontal or vertical. No other engraving system can do this. This is a game changer as far as mobility, scalability and application. By making concrete engraving mobile, Red Art Technologies has opened up the possibility of individuals, businesses and governments to maximize their existing surfaces with designs, logos, donor recognition, etc.

Making the portable concrete printing / engraving system user friendly.

Over the last 5 years Henry Ashworth and the Red Art Technologies team has spent countless hours developing an engraving system that is:

Safe
Environmentally Friendly
Easy to Operate
Mobile
Durable

These principals have shaped and evolved the CNC Pro into the machine it is today. When someone purchases a CNC Pro, they are also joining a brotherhood of fellow engravers, contractors, entrepreneurs and business owners who are willing to share their ideas, engravings and support. Red Art Technologies has also produced self-paced training materials for all CNC Pro owners, to help them hit the ground running with their new concrete engraving machine. Some owners already are familiar with the decorative concrete market, while others are venturing out into starting their own portable concrete engraving business. In any case Red Art Technologies has provided the steps they need to familiarize themselves with the market and get their name out there.

Honestly, our biggest hurdle has been letting people know that this is even possible. Up until this point the only option for engraving/etching into existing surfaces has been sand blasting. This process is messy and not environmentally friendly. That’s why much of the concrete world has turned away from it exploring other possibilities such as stamping. Stamping is great, we can even use our machine to create custom stamps, but once the concrete cures, what’s next? We’re here to announce that the days of working with cured concrete are here again. Forget the sand, forget the mess, simply place the machine onto the surface you want to be engraved, and hit “go”. There’s really not much more to it than that.

Okay, you might not be technically savvy. Doesn’t matter, the Red Art Team, fellow engravers will help you along the way. IF YOU CAN CLICK A MOUSE YOU CAN OPERATE THIS MACHINE. We’ve built the machine for everyone. Concrete is everywhere, why not offer your clients the ability to have their logo, text, phrase or design engraved onto their floor, patio or workspace.

What if I screw up?

Great question! In most cases, we only engrave .08 inches into the concrete surface, this allows for enough depth for an inlay while showing contrast and exposing the aggregate below. This also means that a total screw-up-job can be easily erased with a grinder. Take off the surface and start over.

Safety Signage

2020 is the year of safety for Red Art Technologies. We hope to deliver virtually indestructible safety signage to factory floors, walkways, hospitals, theme parks and much more. Tell the insurance guy that your safety is written in stone (literally). By embedding signage into concrete or stone, it makes it immune to wear and tear. Beyond that, you can also engrave QR codes for factory automation that are critical to production. You’ll hear us say it over and over again, the possibilities are endless.

Come see us at the 2020 World of Concrete in Las Vegas, Nevada February 4-7. We will be happy to show you how our portable decorative concrete engraving system can work for you.

As we move into 2020, Red Art Technologies is staged to provide an expanded set of services and equipment worldwide. Over the last 5 years our portable concrete engraving system (the CNC Pro) has grown in popularity among architects, designers, contractors, finishers, landscapers and entrepreneurs. Building a solid foundation for a product as innovative as this is no small task. The first step has always been educating professionals as to its capabilities and applications. In 2019, we launched the 5 Ways to Make Money campaign highlighting the top 5 most profitable applications of our portable concrete engraving system. We turned our development resources inward, further expanding our self-paced training materials and ready-made templates. In this article, we will cover our plans in two areas: training and engraving applications.

Training & Support

Every CNC Pro owner receives one-on-one support with a subject matter expert (SME). We’ve implemented an industry proven support strategy that allows our users seek self-paced training materials and support forums and if these aren’t enough, we provide live call support with an expert. Owners also enjoy an online forum where we’ve built a repository of knowledge. Additionally, we are continuously developing ready-made templates that allow CNC Pro owners to simply click “engrave” without the need to design or develop. Over 20,000 jobs have been successfully completed with the CNC Pro, ranging from the largest engraved period table of elements to small beautiful boulder creations decorating homes and businesses. We offer the first in the world, portable computer controlled concrete engraving system.

Applications

2020 is poised to be a productive year for Red Art Technologies and CNC Pro owners alike. Reaping the rewards of our education campaign, owners are seeing an increase in large-scale projects. There has never been a better time to invest in a CNC Pro than now. The possibilities are endless. CNC technology has been around since the space program, but it’s come a long way since then. You don’t need to have to have a degree in computer science to operate our machine.

No mess

Unlike sandblasting, our machine produces little mess and is environmentally friendly. Most jobs are completed in a single afternoon with little to no turn-over time. This reduces the risk to the operator and the customer.

Return on Investment

Typical CNC Pro jobs range from $300 to $40,000 and up. Engraving boulders can bring anywhere from $300 – $19,000 per job. Concrete averages from $3,000 – $30,000, epoxy engraving ranges from $2,500 – $16,000 per job. One of the largest sources of income for a CNC Pro owner is working with governments and schools. These projects include beautification of existing surfaces, fundraising, safety signage and much more.

You are invited to come see us at the 2020 World of Concrete in Las Vegas, Nevada February 4-7. We will have machines ready to purchase, training sessions, demonstrations and much more. Now is the time to expand your capabilities with the CNC Pro, call us today to learn more: 435-292-5072
